Monroville, interesting ideas as always, many of which I REALLY like.
The original 'theatrical' release (which also features my preferred colouration) is STILL my personal favourite version, compared to the 'Director's Cut' which disappointed me in quite a few ways. However, this has the potential to be a terrific edit, and I hope to add a few thoughts and additional suggestions here eventually, for you to consider.
I look forward to seeing what your 'Dune' proposals are, too.
